ANNOUNCEMENT-- 


Highland  View  Stock  Farm  is  located  in  Claremoiit,  N.  H., 
one  mile  from  station,  and  consists  of  six  hundred  acres  of  highly 
improved  land.  The  buildings  have  been  constructed  with  a  view 
to  attractiveness  as  well  as  convenience,  and  sanitarily  are  well- 
nigh  perfect.  With  good,  never  failing  water  supply,  rich  pasturage 
and  ample  yard  room,  the  facilities  for  the  breeding  of  trotting 
stock  are  unexcelled.  The  roads  are  excellently  constructed 
throughout  the  town,  besides  which,  there  is  on  the  farm  as  fast  a 
half-mile  track  as  is  on  any  farm  in  the  country ;  forty  feet  wide 
all  the  way,  with  fast  stretches  and  turns,  which   are  nicely  graded. 

From  the  buildings  may  be  seen  from  any  point  of  the  com- 
pass the  most  picturesque  views,  including  mountain,  valley  and 
river  vistas,  and  altogether  Highland  View  is  excellently  well 
adapted  for  a  country  seat.  Visitors  are  welcome  at  all  times  save 
Sundays,  when  business  is  suspended  and  the  stock  cannot  be 
shown.  Those  interested  in  breeding,  developing  or  examining  fine 
horses  will,  we  feel  assured,  see  much  of  interest  here.  The  stock 
is  bred  in  well  tried  lines,  and  individually  as  good  as  the  breeding 
would  suggest. 

Excepting  Evolutio,  any  animal  in  the  collection  is  for  sale, 
reasonably  priced,  on  application.

This  breeding  is  unsurpassed  in  many  directions.  The  ancestors 
were  nearly  all  of  developed  speed,  and  were  tried  and  found  to 
be  brilliant  campaigners.  As  Stranger  was  by  Gen.  Washington, 
and  out  of  Goldsmith  Maid,  record  2.14,  332  heats  in  or  below 
2.30,  and  Gen.  Washington  by  Gen.  Knox,  2.3 if  (public  trial,  2.24),

nee's dam.  Sapphire,  out  of  the  great  mare,  Lucy,  2.18^,  62  heats 
in  or  below  2.30.  Now  we  get  a  combination  of  the  blood-lines 
of  the  three  Queens  of  the  Turf  during  their  day,  a  line  to 
Geo.  M.  Patchen,  Champion  Stallion  during  his  time,  and  another 
to  Jay  Gould,  which  was  also  stallion  king  at  one  time. 

Alcantara  leads  the  world's  speed-producing  record,  and  was  by 
Geo.  Wilkes,  ex-champion  stallion  king,  and  the  leading  sire  to 
date  among  sires  of  trotters ;  his  dam.  Alma  Mater,  by  the  leading 
extreme  speed  broodmare  sire  (as  judged  by  the  2.20  list).  Mam. 
Patchen,  58,  is  dam  of  Alcyone,  2.27,  sire  of  Alcryone,  2.15^, 
lona,  2.17^,  etc.,  Arbiter,  2  30,  and  AUicia,  2.30,  second  dam 
Estella,  by  Australian,  third  dam  Fanny  G.  (also  third  dam  of 
Palo  Alto,  2.12^),  by  Imp.  Margrave.  This  includes,  it  will  be 
seen,  four  direct  lines  to  Hambletonian  10,  the  greatest  sire  of  his 
time,  and  sire  of  Electioneer,  George  Wilkes,  Happy  Medium, 
Dictator,  etc.;  two  strains  to  Alexander  Abdallah,  15,  opportunity 
considered,  Hambletonian's  best   son  ;  three  strains  to   Mambrino

Chief,  II  (once  through  his  best  daughter,  and  once  through  his

of  dams  of  fastest  and  second  fastest  trotters  ever  foaled,  Ameri- 
can Star,  14,  sire  of  dams  of  Dexter,  2.17^,  Nettie,  2.18,  Orange

Mam.  Chief,  Abdallah,  15,  and  Mam.  Patchen,  are  of  themselves 
sufficient  to  form  a  gilt-edged  pedigree,  but  add  to  this  the  out- 
crosses  of  pacing  and  enduring  thoroughbred  and  it  is  complete.

a  foundation  of  great  notoriety  for  stamina. 

Eagle  Wilkes  is  not  a  large  horse,  but  as  handsome  a  horse  as 
stands,  of  commanding  appearance  and  absolutely  perfect  vi  ajiatom- 
ical  construction  everywhere.  He  is  fast,  stylish,  and  will  be,  or  should 
be,  a  great  sire.  There's  no  speculation  about  him,  for  on  each 
side  it  has  been  shown  to  be  of  speed-producing  value.  There  are 
few  in  all  this  broad  land  like  him,  and  none  handsomer,  according 
to  those  who  have  the  right  of  experience  to  say  it.

Edwin  Thorne,  2.i6i,  Black  Cloud, 
2.17^),  by  Mam.  Chief,  11. 

Third  Dam,  Dam  of  Spotted  Jim,  2.33. 

Could  trot  in  2. 25. 

Here  we  trace  direct  to  the  great  broodmare  fountains,  Mam- 
brino  Chief,  11,  three  times,  and  to  Pilot,  Jr.,  12,  twice,  with  speed- 
producing  dams  all  round.  Almont  Eagle  and  Psyche  both  de- 
veloped performers  both  capable  of  faster  records  than  attained 
at  the  time  made,  as  their  trials  indicated  each  could  beat  2.20. 
Back  of  all  is  another  speed-producer,  dam  of  Spotted  Jim,  2.33,  a 
horse  trotted  around  half-mile  tracks  more  to  obtain  purses  than 
record;  he  could  trot  in  2.25  and  faster,  but  was  never  allowed  to 
trot  there.  Speed-producers  denied  first-rate  opportunities  are  the 
very  best  examples  of  individuality  to  be  found,  and  of  far  more 
value  in  a  pedigree  than  fashionable  strains  which  cannot  substan- 
tiate by  virtue  of  performance  the  trust  put  in  the  richness  of 
breeding  by  patrons  who  wonder  that  they  never  got  a  trotter  when 
those  bred  in  similar  lines  go  and  perform  creditably.  Napoleon 
was  retained,  as  he  was  well  fortified  with  a  high  rate  of  natural 
speed,  to  prove  what  he  now  is,  a  trotter.

24  hotly  contested  heats  in  2.30  and         Sheridan    (sire    of    Phylis,     2.15^),

Smith,  2.27,  Arthur,  2.27-^,  Farmer 
Boy,  2.28,  Fitzgerald,  2.30,  Young 
Columbus,  Jr.,  2.30;  dam  of  Ab- 
bottsford,  2.19^,  and  6  others  in 
2.30. 

Third  Dam,  Daughter  of  Hambletonian,  2, 

(Harris,) 
Sire  of  Green  Mountain  Maid,  2.28^, 
and  3  others  also,  dams  of  6  in  2.30. 

There  is  decidedly  an  outcross  here,  and  includes  fast  performers. 
Mermaid  ought  to  have  been  in  the  list,  but  has  been  bred  in  pre- 
ference to  a  turf  career.  The  blood  of  Young  Columbus  breeds 
on:  Adelaide,  2. 19I,  a  daughter  of  Phil  Sheridan,  has  Nina  D. 
2.26^,  at  4  years,  and  Addie  D.,  2.25 1,  at  3  years,  in  the  list.  Such 
an  outcross,  when  commingled  with  Hambletonian  and  Mambrino 
Chief  blood,  must  result  favorably,  as  it  becomes  stronger  as  a 
speed-productive  factor. 

This  fellow  is  a  royally  handsome  horse,  excellently  fashioned, 
bred  and  gaited  for  a  fast  performer,  and  knows  nothing  but  trot. 
Good  judges  think  him  capable  of  a  record  in  his  four-yearold 
form  inside  the  "circle  which  divides."  He  will  be  handled  this 
coming  season,  and,  barring  accident,  will  be  given  a  mark.

Wilkes,  2.22,  his  best  son,  Administrator,  2.29^,  Abdallah,  15, 
Rysdyk  and  Hartford's  dam.  In  addition  there  are  strains  direct 
to  Grey  Eagle,  Sir  Archy  and  Diomed.  He  is  individually  one  of 
the  fastest  gaited  colts  of  his  age  to  be  found,  look  where  we  may, 
and  extremely  bloodlike^  and  in  every  way  promising.  He  is  ultra- 
fashionably  bred,  possessing  the  best  performing  blood  from  Al- 
cantara (21  in  2.30  list  in  1890),  and  tracing  directly  to  the  greatest 
matron  of  the  year,  Jessie  Pepper. 

There  is  little  to  risk,  for'  with  opportunity  he  will  become  a 
trotter,  and  his  opportunities  on  the  Highland  View  mares  are  con- 
ceded to  be  first-class  for  the  production  of  trotters,  and  the  rec- 
ords show  that  the  trotters  descended  from  Jessie  Pepper  are 
among  the  gamiest  and  most  level-headed  ever  to  show  in  public. 
Prince  Regent  can  trot  in  2.14,  as  can  ^gon,  if  not  indeed  faster; 
2.23:!:  will  not  stop  Irene  —  with  another  season  she  can  undoubt- 
edly enter  the  2.20  list  easily. 

Taken  all  in  all,  there  are  few  colts  obtainable  with  as  promising 
a  speed  inheritance  as  has  this  fellow,  and  with  excellent  bone 
structure  and  high  finish  we  can  but  anticipate  a  brilliant  future 
career  for  him  either  here  or  in  the  event  of  his  being  disposed  of. 
In  his  two-year  old  form  he  will  be  allowed  a  few  choice  fillies 
from  our  stud.

Happy  Russell,  2.21^,  he  sire  of  Happy  Bee,  2-year  record  2.29^,

list.  A  wonderful  record  of  speed  transmittance ;  and  several 
others  will  undoubtedly  be  in  the  list,  as  Miss  Russell  is  alive,  and 
breeding  each  year.  Nutwood  was  by  Belmont,  trial  2.28:^,  and 
his  dam,  Belle,  by  Mambrino  Chief,  produced  McCurdy's  Hamble- 
tonian,  2.26|-,  with  7  in  the  list,  including  McEwen,  2.18^,  at  4

a  race;  2.14^,  at  5  years,  in  a  race.  She  was  a  daughter  of  the 
wonderful  broodmare  sire,  Mambrino  Chief,  11.  Rex  Nutwood's 
third  dam  produced  Lady  Mac,  2.23.  Turn  where  you  may  this 
pedigree  bristles  with  speed  ancestry,  and  individually  he  is  a  great 
young  horse^  and  a  promising  candidate  for  turf  success,  possessing 
capabilities  of  high  order  as  to  speed.  Nutwood  sold  at  auction 
for  $22,000,  and  has  stood  at  the  head  of  popular  sires  for  six 
seasons,  and  as  evidence  of  his  success  commands  a  fee  of  $500, 
wuth  "book  filled"  for  five  years.  A  Nutwood  weanling  sold  at 
private  sale  for  $6,000,  highest  figure  ever  obtained  to  date.  That 
Rex  Nutwood  will  develop  into  a  great  young  horse,  there  can 
scarcely  be  raised  a  doubt,  if  no  unseen  accident  overtakes  him 
previous  to  maturity.  Horses  of  his  individuality,  by  Nutwood, 
are  not  obtainable  save  at  phenomenally  high  prices.

SCUTHRI.  JR. 

Dark  bay  stallion ;  foaled    1883  ;  bred  by  Wm.   H.  Moody,  Clare-

Sire,  SCUTARI. 

Son  of  Woodford  Mambrino,  2.21^,  sire  of  Abbottsford,  2.19I  (sire  of 
CoNDE,  2,20),  Mambrino  Dudley,  2.19!  (sire  of  Crescendo,  2.24),  and 
others. 

First  Dam,  Mary  Curtis,  by  Volunteer  Boy, 

Sire  of  dam  of  Fearnaught,  2.19,  and 
obtained  record  his  first  heat  in

Second  Dam,  Daughter  of         Black  Sherman, 

Owned  by  Elijah  Hoffman,  Philadel-  Son  of  Vt.   Black  Hawk,  out  of  the 

phia,  Pa.  Hammill  Mare  by  son  of  Bellfounder. 

Here's  another  pedigree  built  on  the  Mambrino  Ch'ief  Hamble- 
tonian  cross  and  with  a  Morgan  outcross.  Woodford  Mambrino 
started  late  in  life,  but  got  a  record  of  2.21^,  and  died  before 
meeting  the  stud  opportunity  his  breeding  called  for.  He  had 
same  dam  as  Wedgewood,  2.19,  the  greatest  compaigning  stallion 
yet  produced,  and  the  only  one  to  win  all  his  races  during  the 
progress  of  a  campaign  through  the  Grand  Circuit.  Scutari  was 
by  a  son  of  Mambrino  Chief  (his  best  son,  so  to  speak),  out  of 
Sallina  by  Belmont,  second  dam,  Susette  by  Pilot,  Jf.,  third  dam, 
Susan  by  American  Eclipse,  fourth  dam  by  Woodpecker,  fifth  dam 
by  Hephistion.  He  traces  to  Mambrino  Chief  twice,  to  Abdallah, 
15,  Pilot,  Jr.,  Hambletonian,  10,  and  has  a  rich  thoroughbred  back- 
ing. He  is  in  appearance  a  remarkably  handsome  horse,  re- 
sembling Woodford  Mambrino  very  much,  it  is  said,  by  visitors 
having  seen  both  horses.  In  action,  pure-gaited,  level-headed,  and 
a  fast  stallion  any  time  developed.  As  a  sire,  his  colts  speak 
louder  in  his  behalf  than  words.  He  gets  a  line  to  that  sire  of 
game  racehorses.  Volunteer,  and  also  to  three  noted  broodmares. 
Woodbine,  Belle  and  Martha. 

As  an  outcross  with  blood  of  the  Clay  or  Morgan  families,  he 
would  meet  his  best  success,  and  ought  to  produce  a  rare  lot  of 
performers.  His  daughters  will  stand  inbreeding  or  will  produce 
trotters  to  the  cover  of  Wilkes  horses.  All  in  all,  Scutari,  Jr.,  is 
a  first-class  individual.

able 4-mile  race-horse  in  his  days  on 
the  turf. 

Almont  Eagle  is,  in  every  way,  a  wonderfully  well-bred  stallion, 
and  superlatively  capable  individually;  Almont's  dam  being  by 
Mambrino  Chief,  and  from  a  Pilot,  Jr.,  mare,  and  his  dams  are 
among  Mambrino  Chief's  most  successful  producers.  He  is  a 
much  faster  horse  than  his  record  indicates,  and  judges  of  expe- 
rience stated,  during  his  training,  that  he  surely  could  beat  2.20. 
Outside   of   Highland  View   his   opportunities  have   been   limited. 


1 8  FARM    STALLIONS. 

We  have  here  two  which  can  trot  in  2.25  to  2.20,  and  several  better 
than  2.30.  They  will  be  trained  and  placed  in  the  list  another 
season  (189 1)  ;  barring  accidents  will  get  fasts  marks,  and  rank 
their  sire  among  Almont's  most  productive  speed-siring  sons.  His 
get  are  large,  substantially  fashioned,  good-gaited,  and  handsome, 
uniformly;  this,  added  to  soundness  and  good  dispositions,  renders 
them  very  desirable  for  road  use,  where  many  have  drifted  after 
leaving  their  breeder's  ownership.  His  sons  breed  a  high  class  of 
colts,  and  from  those  among  his  daughters,  which  have  been  bred, 
we  can  show  some  remarkably  promising  speedy  young  animals. 
In  every  way  Almont  Eagle  is  desirable  to  head  any  stud  in 
America.  His  own  brother.  Piedmont,  2.17:^,  is  fast  proving  his 
value  at  Palo  Alto,  though  overshadowed  many  years  by  the  great 
Electioneer.  At  the  close  of  189 1  Almont  Eagle  will  be  found 
among  the  foremost  of  Almont's  producing  sons,  and  whoever 
secures  him  will  secure  one  of  the  richest  bred  developed  sires  in 
America.  He  can  beat  his  record  easily  many  seconds  with  a 
month's  track  work ;  is  roaded  ten  miles  a  day,  and  in  the  best 
condition  for  any  use  determined  upon.

dallah,  15,  one  of  Hambletonian's  best  sons  (opportunities  con- 
sidered the  best),  out  of  a  mare  by  Mambrino  Chief  and  Ama,  Vit- 
toria's  second  dam  by  a  successful  son  of  Mambrino  Chief,  the 
whole  resting  on  a  three-ply  throughbred  foundation,  tracing  each 
time  through  his  most  noted  sons  to  Sir  Archy,  son  of  Diomed.  Is 
it  to  be  wondered  at  that  Vittoria  gets  fast  colts,  of  great  courage 
and  determination,  fine  finished,  and  is,  as  well,  a  fast  horse  him- 
self? No,  it  would  be  contrary  to  the  laws  of  Nature  were  it 
otherwise.  For  an  ideal  broodmare  sire  he  must  be  a  grand  suc- 
cess, and  his  daughters,  \yhen  bred  to  Wilkes'  Mambrino  Patchen 
sires,  are  going  to  produce  remarkably  fast  performers.  The 
Hambletonian  Mambrino  blood  stands  doubling,  and  always  im- 
proves when  inbred  through  excellent  individuals. 

Vittoria  is  probably  the  best  bred  son  of  his  sire  standing  for 
service,  if,  indeed,  not  the  best  in  existence.  Administrator  never 
was  afforded  the  opportunity,  but  by  downright  meritorious  indi- 
viduality came  into  the  front  rank  among  sires,  notwithstanding  his 
obscurity.  Several  among  Vittoria's  get  here  are  remarkably 
fast,  and,  when  trained,  will  show  very  credi4:ably.

Granite  State  adds  to  the  Mambrino  Hambletonian  cross  the 
blood  of  American  Star  through  Laura  Keene,  dam  of  Jack 
Shepard.  American  Star  mares  were  Hambletonian's  best  cross, 
and  Hambletonian  blood  produced  the  Mambrino  family's  best 
performers,  so  in  this  blending  we  have  intact  all  the  proven  speed 
fountains.  He  can  show  a  very  high  rate  of  speed,  though  never 
trained.

sternation to  Imp.  Trustee,  to  American  Eclipse,  grandson  of 
Diomed,  back  to  Sir  Archy,  best  son  of  Diomed.  Vittoria  adds 
Hambletonian  and  Mambrino  Chief  blood.  He  is  the  fastest 
trotter  ever  bred  here,  and  a  great-gaited,  level-headed  fellow. 
His  dam  is  in  the  stud,  but  will  be  given  a  record  before  again 
being  bred.  She  is  one  of  Blackwood's  speediest  daughters,  and 
a  grand  broodmare.  New  England,  at  any  price,  is  a  good  in- 
vestment.

ViTTMONT  traces  on  each  side  to  Almont,  and  each  time  through

a  Clay  outcross  through  one  of  the  best  of  the  descendants  of  Henry 
Clay,  and  it  is  well  known  that  both  Geo.  Wilkes  and  Electioneer 
are  by  Hambletonian  (sire  of  Administrator),  out  of  Clay  dams. 
He  is  inbred  once  remotely  to  Pilot,  Jr.'s,  sire,  Pilot,  a  fast  pacer,

twice  to  the  founder  of  trotters  in  America,  Imp.  Messenger.  He

speed  and  producing  sons ;  Volunteer,  dam,  Lady  Patriot,  another 
wonderful  matron,  and  on  dam's  side  the  great  turf  stars  are  near 
connections  ;  Lakeland  Abdallah,  sire  of  his  second  dam,  a  brother 
to  the  sire  of  the  fastest  performer  to  date.  Mam.  Dudley  never 
had  a  foal  but  that  trotted  or  produced  speed,  and  Sue  Dudley  has 
two  in  2.30  list,  and  each  have  2.30  performers  already.  His  fourth 
dam  was  sister  to  the  well-known  Woodburn  producer,  Maud,  a 
great  mare.  In  addition  to  Abdallah,  15,  Mambrino  Chief,  11, 
and  Volunteer,  55  (to  Hambletonian),  Highland  View  has  a  line  to 
Edwin  Forrest,  sire  of  dam  of  Mambrino  King,  the  sire  of  Prince 
Regent,  2.i6|-,  Mocking  Bird,  2.16J,  Henrietta,  2.18^,  and  Jocko, 
pacer,  2.165.  Every  line  goes  into  thoroughbred  blood,  and  it  will 
improve  on  examining  into  the  breeders  of  the  most  famous  per- 
formers bred  that  way,  for  the  reason  that  identical  strains  are 
found  among  their  direct  ancestors.  If  breeding  of  this  sort  fails  to 
produce  a  performer  of  merit,  or  a  sire  of  speed,  it  will  be  a  seldom 
found  exception.  He  is  one  of  the  choicest,  individually  con- 
sidered, stallions  in  New  England,  and  fit  to  be  placed  in  any  stud 
collection  in  America.

Chief  blood.  There  are,  in  addition,  two  out-crosses  to  pacing 
blood  of  productive  merit. 

On  sire's  side  to  Pilot,  Jr.,  sire  of  dams  of  Maud  S.,  2.o8|,  Jay 
Eye  See,  2.10,  Nutwood,  2.i8|,  etc.,  and  through  his  dam  back  to 
sire  of  Harry  Wilkes'  dam.  He  is  not  a  large  one,  but  very  pow- 
erfully made  from  head  to  heels,  and  no  inclination  to  mix  or 
amble.  His  trotting  action  is  beautiful  and  he  may  go  very  fast  if 
he  were  trained.  Nelson,  2.io|,  Maud  S.,  2.08^,  Harry  Wilkes, 
2.13^,  Manzanita,  2.16,  and  others,  are  in  a  measure  indebted  to 
the  pacing  brood  for  their  speed.  Almate's  pacing  strains  are 
those  identical  ones  which  have  best  resulted  when  introduced  into 
trotting  pedigrees  heretofore.  He  will  sire  speed  beyond  a  shadow 
of  doubt,  and  is  one  of  the  nicest  roadster  stallions  ever  foaled.

Collie  is  a  magnificent  rangy  bloodlike  mare,  an  excellent  pro-

They  show  speed  and  testify  in  every  department  as  to  the  dam's 
qualifications  for  broodmare  use.  She  is  one  of  the  finest  bred 
mares  in  the  land,  as  a  careful  analysis  of  her  pedigree  will  show. 
Lakeland  Abdallah  with  proper  opportunities  afforded  him  would 
have  been  a  wonderfully  successful  sire.  He  was  early  taken  to 
a  locality  more  interested  in  breeding  draught   than   trotting  lines.

finished  and  elegant  mares  in  Kentucky,  as  was  her  dam,  the  Com- 
modore mare.  She  produces  invariably  a  fine  type  of  beauty ;  from 
suckling  form  to  maturity  they  never  lose  their  marked  symmetry 
of  proportion.  Marjorie  will  produce  speed  at  Highland  View,

TwiSTWOOD  traces  twice  to  Imp.  Trustee,  the  great  20-mile  trotter, 
and  is  a  mare  remarkable  for  her  beautiful  finish,  intelligence  and 
high  nerve  force.  She  can  trot  in  or  near  2.30,  and  is  very  nervy 
but  well  behaved.  At  twenty  she  will  be  as  graceful  as  she  is  now. 
Her  sire,  Blackwood,  could  go  quarters  in  32  seconds  as  a  three- 
year  old,  and  sold  for  $25,000.  He  yet  lives  at  an  advanced 
age,  sound  as  a  dollar  and  rugged.  The  Blackwoods  are  a  speedy, 
dead  game,  long-lived  lot  of  trotters,  and  campaign  successfully. 
They  are  so  highly  organized  that  it  becomes  necessary  to  be  very 
gentle  in  training  them,  though  not  "rattle-headed"  necessarily. 
When  bred  they  are  a  grand  lot  of  producers.  That  the  blood 
breeds  on  Blackwood,  Jr.,  2.22^,  has  shown  in  his  table  of  per- 
formers, having  5  in  2.30  and  dam  of  another  already.  Daughters 
of  Blackwood  have  produced  Merry  Thought,  2.22^,  and  several 
others.  Twistwood's  foals  here  will  bear  very  critical  exam- 
ination, and  all  show  her  elegance,  and  show  speed  as  well  of  a 
high  order.

Best  son  of  Diomed. 

Here  we  have  a  richly  constructed  pedigree,  replete  in  its  Mam- 
brino Chief  dams,  and  with  a  line  each  to  the  famous  4-mile  race- 
horses, Grey  Eagle  and  American  Eclipse.  Her  Abdallah,  15,  blood 
never  met  better  crosses  than  this  combination  furnish.  Not  a 
strain  to  a  faint-hearted  family,  and  with  a  Clay  outcross  as  well  as 
one  to  Alexander's  Norman,  a  family  which  claims  Lula,  2.15,  May 
Queen,  2.20,  dams  of  Norman  Medium,  2.20,  Norval,  2.17^  (sire 
of  Norlain,  i-year  record  2.3 if),  and  nine  more.  Almawood  is 
well  qualified  to  pass  down  to  her  produce  a  high  rate  of.  speed. 
She  inherits  it,  and  better  still  possesses  it  individually,  is  a  beau- 
tiful, sound,  stylish  young  mare.  We  shall  probably  train  her  pre-" 
vious  to  permanently  retiring  her  from  the  stud.  She  has  no  ''  slack 
places "  and  those  who  have  looked  her  over  are  loifd  in  her 
praises.     What  a  colt  she  will  produce  bred  to  Evolutio.

dams  of  Pamlico,  2.i6f,  Dandy  Jim, 
2.19I,  Revenue,  2.22^,  and  16  others. 

Second  Dam,  Grey  Mare, 

Claimed  to  be  a  Messenger. 

Crystal  is  in  conformation  a  beautiful  mare,  strongly  imbued 
with  the  Lambert  characteristics  ;  can  trot  very  fast,  and  with  op- 
portunity should  very  nearly  trot  in  2.20  to  prophecy  within 
bounds. 

ROSSiflZOOD.

Bay  mare  ;  foaled  1885  ;  bred  by  Highland  View.

Second  Dam,  Louise  Kellogg,   by  Dial, 

Son  of  Geo.  M.  Patchen,  2.23^. 

Third  Dam,  Hibernia,  by  Imp.  Consternation. 

Fourth  Dam,  Roxanna,  by  American  Eclipse. 

Fifth  Dam,  Roxanna,  by  Sir  Archy. 

Examine  Scutari,  Jr.'s  bloodlines,  then  turn  to  Twistwood  and 
weigh  well  the  breeding  values  of  this  pedigree  for  broodmare's  use. 
Individually  she  comes  up  to  the  standard  of  excellence  it  calls 
for,  is  nicely  gaited,  and  should  she  be  handled  would  undoubtedly 
trot  fast.     Her  every  movement  is  grace  itself.

COLLEEN, 

[Standard,  Rule  6.] 

Brownish  chestnut;  foaled  1887;  bred  by  John  F.  Mills,    Boston, 

Mass. 

Sire,  ABBOTTONIAN. 

Son  of  Mambrino  Dudley,  2.19!,  he  by  Woodford  Mambrino,  2.2ii. 
First  Dam,  Crystal,  by  Robert  Burns, 

Son  of  Winthrop  Morrill. 
Second  Dam,  Daughter  of         Daniel  Lambert,  102, 

Sire  of  Comee,  2.19^,  Ella  Doe,  2.23I, 
etc. 

Abbottonian's  dam.  Muse,  was  by  Winthrop  Morrill,  out  of  the 
well  known  trotting  mare  Lady  Thornton,  2.26^  (dam  of  Virginia 
Evans,  2.24,  trial  2.18),  and  has  sired  some  very  promising  foals. 
Robert  Burns'  dam  was  by  Old  Hambletonian,  2d  dam  by  Thos. 
Jefferson,  son  of  Mambrino  Paymaster,  Jr.,  3d  dam,  a  daughter  of 
Mambrino  Paymaster.  Thos.  Jefferson's  dam  was  also  by  Mam. 
Paymaster,  giving  three  direct  strains  to  Mambrino  Paymaster, 
sire  of  Mambrino  Chief,   11,  the  great  sire  of  Lady  Thorne,  2.i8|. 

CHRISTHBEL. 

[Standard,  Rule  6.] 
Black  filly;  no  white;  foaled  1888;  bred  at  Highland  View. 
Sire,  ALMONT  EAGLE,  2.27. 
First  Dam,  Crystal,  by  Robert  Burns. 

Second  Dam,  Fanny  Lambert,     by  Daniel  Lambert. 

The  Mambrino  Chief  blood,  technically  speaking,  is  the  back- 
ground for  this  pedigree.  Robert  Burns  traces  three  times  to 
Mambrino  Chief's  sire,  and  Almont  Eagle  twice  to  Mambrino 
Chief  himself.  Daniel  Lambert  throws  in  a  strong  dash  of  the 
best  Morgan,  backed  by  Abdallah  and  American  Star  strains. 
She  is  a  very  excellently  well-bred  filly,  and  can  trot  quite  a  bit, 
though  it  is,  of  course,  all  natural  speed,  for  she  has  not  had  a 
moment's  handling.

This  breeding  is  elegant  so  far  as  it  extends,  and  composed  of 
animals  excellent  indiYidually.  She  is  a  fine  young  mare  and  half 
sister  to  Scutari,  Jr.,  one  of  our  best  young  stallions ;  a  trotter  of 
promise  and  will  be  a  good  producer.  Individually  she  compares

Elfin  calls  for  more  than  passing  notice.  She  is  inbred  to  the 
great  Volunteer,  the  founder  of  the  gamest,  nerviest  family  of 
campaigners  ever  started,  and  she  goes  back  to  the  sire  of  the 
greatest  Morgan  (Daniel  Lambert)  ever  foaled,  which  had  few 
opportunities  but  overcame  all  obstacles,  and  contributed  39  trotters

Second  Dam,  Nipper,  by  Geo.   M.  Patchen,  30,  2.231^, 

Great    road    mare,    fast    for    her  Sire   of    Lucy,  2.16^,  and   3   others, 

draught;  was  never  trained.  and  dams  of   6  others   in    the    2.30 

list. 

Nettie  Goodwood  is  a  grand  mare,  and  her  yearling  by  Vittoria, 
good  judges  say,  could  show  better  than  a  three-minute  gait,  loose 
in  the  paddock,  and  strong,  pure  gait.  He  at  once  makes  a  reputa- 
tion for  Nettie,  for,  bar  all  accident,  it  will  be  a  very  easy  task  for 
him  to  trot  in  2.30  at  3-years'-old  form.  The  mare  is  very  nicely 
bred  in  true  and  tried  lines,  traces  direct  to  the  famous  Geo.  M. 
Patchen,  king  of  the  turf  during  his  years,  and  gets  through  the 
Champion's  the  blood  of  Almack.  Nettie  'iBurlew  was  a  terribly 
speedy  mare,  and  could  doubtess  trot  a  quarter  at  a  2.08  gait.  She 
frequently  went  halves  at  a  2.12  gait  in  her  work.  She  inherits 
speed  and  can  trot  quite  fast  untrained,  but  is  needed  at  Highland 
View  for  broodmare  use.  That  she  will  be  very  valuable  as  a 
producer,  we  think  none  who  ever  saw  her  or  her  produce  will  for 
a  moment  question.

Owned  at  Pittsford,  Vt.,  passed  to  Son  of  Black  Hawk,  5. 

Ransom  Davis  of  Saxton's  River, 
Vt.  Produced  Arabian  Girl,  2.40 
(dam  of  Psyche,  2.27^),  also  the 
dam  of  Spotted  Jim,  2.33.  Six 
of  her  produce  could  beat  2.30 
had  they  been  handled. 

There  is  marked  individuality  combined  with  breeding  in  the 
case  of  Mlss  Weston.  She  will  be  a  good  producer  we  firmly  be- 
lieve.

This  is  a  great  young  mare.  Her  foal  here  by  Allectus  (son  of 
Alcantara),  Quintuple,  can  show,  loose,  as  much  speed  as  any  we 
ever  saw  at  same  age,  and  individually  is  a  beauty.  She  is  bred  in 
well-tried  lines.  Hartford  was  out  of  Belle,  said  to  be  by  Hamble- 
tonian,  lo,  but  registered  once  as  by  that  horse  himself,  again  as  by 
''a  Hambletonian  horse."  Rysdyk  was  out  of  Lady  Duke,  by  Lex- 
ington, granddam  by  Medoc.  Jersey  Lily  could  trot  in  2.25,  but 
was  bred  before  entering  the  list. 

Hartelle  is  herself  beautifully  gaited,  a  nice  finished  mare  and 
finely  coated  winter  or  summer.  She  must  produce  a  fine  line  of 
foals  judged  by  the  first  one,  Quintuple.

many  years,  going  into  a  faster  class  each   season,  and  could  beat

Mermaid  can  enter  the  list  still.  She  is  so  well  fortified  with 
speed-producers  that  it  is  preferable  to  breed  her  each  season. 
She  will  be  mated  with  Evolutio,  and  we  hope  for  something  great. 
It  will  be  an  outcross,  and  a  good  one  as  well.

rich  bloodlines  through  her  sire,  her  grandsire  and  the  sire  of  her

Easter  is  designed  as  a  broodmare ;  was  purchased  especially  to

Easter  by  Evolutio.  She  is  not  for  sale,  money  won't  buy  her,

Oakwood  is  the  fastest  colt  of  his  age  we  ever  had  here.  He  can 
show  more  speed  and  more  stride  in  the  yards  than  termed 
average  speed  limit  for  unbroken  yearling  form,  and  must,  with  no 
accident  or  set  back,  become  a  very  fast  horse.  His  action  is  per- 
fect and  he  is  a  very  large  colt  for  the  age.  Horsemen  who  have 
seen  him,  all  pronounce  him  a  wonderfully-gaited  colt,  and -a  very 
promising  one  for  turf  honors  at  maturity.

This  is  grand  breeding,  and  better  even  than  good  breeding  ; 
Silk  Boy  is  absokitely  perfect  at  every  point.  Evenly  balanced

It  is  replete  with  strains  directly  to  successful  sires,  and  the  dams

Eagle  Wilkes  is  considered  as  handsome  as  the  great  show

mont,  Abdallah,  15,  and  best  of  thoroughbred  backing,  tracing 
three  times  direct  to  Sir  Archy  ;  and  on  the  sire's  side  three  great 
4-mile  runners  are  represented  :  Grey  Eagle,  Wagner,  and  Lexing-

of  those  her  rare  breeding  may  attract.  From  any  standpoint  she 
is  a  superior  young  filly,  and  after  we  trial  her  at  maturity  she  will 
go  into  the  stud,  where  she  must  needs  be  a  grand  producer.

well  qualified  for  the  stud  as  he,  and  whatever  families  may  be

neck  than  she  carries,  and  from  end  to  end  there  seems  no  flaw  in 
her  make-up.  Every  one  who  has  seen  her  has  commented  on  her 
rare  finish  and  beautifully  colored,  sleekly-laid  coat.  She  knows 
nothing  but  trot,  and  for  a  weanling  is  extra  attractive  in  action, 
and  shows  quite  a  deal  of  juvenile  speed,  loose  in  the  yards.

doubtedly trot  in  or  very  near  2.25  with  regular  track  work.  A 
Boston  gentleman  made  a  fair  offer  (for  an  undeveloped  horse)  last 
spring,  but  we  preferred  to  bring  him  out  or  sell  to  one  who  would 
afford  him  a  turf  education.

producers  in  every  line  of  this  filly's  rich  pedigree,  and  it  will  be 
very  discouraging  if  she  herself  doesn't  become  a  great  speed-

84  SUPPLEMENT. 

In  all  the  stud-book  it  is  very  doubtful  if  the  superior  to  this  filly 
in  matter  of  great  broodmare  lines  could  be  found.  She  has  three 
lines  to  Mambrino  Chief,  11,  the  great  Hambletonian-x\merican 
Star  cross  the  blood  of  Mambrino  Boy,  sire  of  dams  of  the  greatest 
three-year  old,  Axtell,  2.12,  and  greatest  four-3'ear-old  stallion, 
Allerlon,  2.13^,  both  of  which  stand  at  a  service  fee  of  $1,000; 
then  to  the  remarkable  producer,  Waterwitch.  It  is  wonderful, 
but  the  sort  of  animals  w^e  consider  best  adapted  to  produce  trot- 
ters, and  what  we  have  aimed  to  secure,  to  give  opportunity  to  our 
young  stallions,  Rex  Nutwood  and  Evolutio.  Comment  on  Water- 
loo has  already  been  made,  so  it  is  not  necessary  to  lepeat  it  here.

State,  son  of  Duroc,  Morgan  Em-

'  Justin  Morgan, 

This  pedigree  is  short,  but  a  rich  commingling  of  Abdallah-Mam- 
brino  Chief  blood  with  that  of  the  stout,  hardy  Morgan,  and  tracing 
direct  to  the  fountain  head  of  the  founder  of  the  great  family  — 
Justin  Morgan.  She  is  a  handsome,  highly-finished  mare,  and 
speedy  as  well.

of  the  great  broodmare  sire,  American  Clay,  the  rest  of  his  breed- 
ing tracing  directly  to  the  best  thoroughbred  sires.  Sir  Walter, 
2.24^,  was  by  Aberdeen,  2.331-,  sire  of  Modoc,  2.19,  Hattie  Wood- 
ward, 2.15^,  and  many  others,  and  his  dam  by  Edward  Everett, 
sire  of  Judge  Fullerton,  2.18,  and  many  others.  Aberdeen,  2.33^, 
was  by  Hambletonian,  10,  out  of  the  fastest  daughter  of  American 
Star,  14,  Widow  Machree,  2.29,  one  of  the  gamest  mares  ever 
trotted;  so  pronounced  by  the  late  Dan  Mace,  and  other  excellent 
authorities.  We  not  only  get  the  greatest  Hambletonian-Star 
cross,  but  the  Hambletonian-Clay  strain,  from  which  came  Elec- 
tioneer, Geo.  Wilkes,  and  St.  Julien,  among  the  trotters.     Note  the

speed  progression  :  2.33^,  2.24^,  2.18^,  and  she  is  gaited  so  to  give 
the  hope  that  these  figures  may  yet  be  lowered.  On  the  dam's 
side  we  get  Kentucky  Wilkes,  2.21^,  on  the  best  of  Geo.  Wilkes' 
sons,  and  is  producing  trotters,  though  but  a  short  while  in  the 
stud.  The  second  dam  is  by  Black  Cloud,  son  of  the  great  brood- 
mare sire,  Mambrino  Patchen,  58,  and  a  horse,  own  brother  to  Lady 
Stout,  2.29,  the  first  to  attain  that  record  as  a  three-year-old. 
Black  Cloud's  dam  produced  Lady  Stout,  2.29,  Black  Diamond, 
2.29I,  and  Jeb  Stuart,  sire  of  Kitty  Patchen,  2.21^,  and  others,  also 
Mambrino  Time,  sire  of  two  in  2.30,  and  the  dam  of  Silverone, 
2. 19 J,  also  Black  Cloud,  sire  of  Charmer,  2.27.  Polly  Farragut, 
her  third  dam,  is  a  producer  of  speed,  for  Theresa  trotted  in  2.30^, 
while  heavy  in  foal,  and  Ethan  H.  Drew  has  a  record  of  2.33!-  on  a 
half-mile  track.  We  consider  that  in  point  of  breeding  Queen 
Wilkes  is  in  the  very  front  rank;  few  there  are  carrying  the  blood 
of  the  great  sires,  Geo.  Wilkes,  Hambletonian,  American  Star,  and 
Mambrino  Patchen,  as  well  as  the  American  Clay  outcross.  She 
is  what  w^e  have  tried  hard  to  secure  for  the  Highland  View  Stud.
